Anxiety disorders
Anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive, persistent, and unrealistic worry or fear about everyday situations. This intense and persistent worry can interfere with a person's daily activities, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions and can take several forms, including:
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): This type of anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive and persistent worry about a variety of events or activities.
Panic disorder: This type of anxiety disorder is characterized by sudden and repeated episodes of intense fear or terror, often referred to as panic attacks.
Social anxiety disorder (SAD): This type of anxiety disorder is characterized by intense fear of being judged or scrutinized by others in social situations.
Specific phobias: This type of anxiety disorder is characterized by an intense fear of specific objects or situations, such as spiders, flying, or heights.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): This type of anxiety disorder is characterized by intrusive and unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions).
Anxiety disorders can be effectively treated with a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional.
The symptoms of anxiety disorders can vary depending on the type of disorder and the individual. However, some common symptoms include:
Excessive worry or fear: People with anxiety disorders may worry excessively about everyday situations or events that others would not typically find threatening.
Physical symptoms: Anxiety disorders can also cause physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, and insomnia.
